description

Hyaluronic acid is a natural moisturizing factor (NMF) that can bind up to 1000 times its own weight in water. This formula focuses on ultra-moisturizing high-molecular-weight versions for ample surface hydration as well as on medium-molecular weight versions, whose strong point is to strengthen the skin barrier and to reinforce the skin’s natural defense & healing mechanisms.

Ingredients & Research

key ingredients:

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer A new generation, cross-linked hyaluronic acid, whose water binding ability is several times greater than the already amazing water-binding ability of hyaluronic acid. Also offers longer-term moisturizing benefits.

Sodium Hyaluronate - The most common, salt-form of hyaluronic acid that can be found in larger and smaller molecular weight in the formula.

Tremella Fuciformis (Mushroom) Extract – The extract of silver ear mushroom known for its amazing water-binding abilities. It contains sugar constituents including Glucuronic acid, one of the building blocks of Hyaluronic Acid. It also cosmetically elegant, non-sticky, and has additional antioxidant benefits.

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid – A smaller molecular weight version of Hyaluronic Acid that is known for its ability to reinforce the skin’s natural defense & healing mechanisms.

Panthenol – A classic skincare ingredient that is a reliable soothing, moisturizing and skin-protecting agent.

Love it!

This is my absolute favorite from Geek&Gorgeous, the texture is great, rapidly absorbed by the skin, super hydrating, and very affordable. I keep repurchasing it, along with B-Bomb!

Love it

I am using it together with B-Bomb in my morning serum treatment and I was amazed how smooth and plump the area around my eyes gets when I apply it. Will buy again.

Great hydration serum

I’ve been using H5 Rich more than a year now and I am really loving it. I use it every day in my morning and evening routine after the tonic. It gives my skin hydration and a really nice feeling. It is a perfect first step in my routines.

Awsome product!

I admit I was sceptical to try HA 5 Rich out! At the age of 66 my experiences with products promising to become young again was enough big to doubt.
However, I was surprised instantly! The texture of the hyaluron acid is inexplicable smooth, almost creamy though it's clear- transparant.
All the products I used before had been of watery consistent giving me the impression of " nothing will happen". HA 5 Rich however, makes me feel like using a skin supplement completing my face treatments in a perfect way. Since I use it in addition to my other products my skin feels enough nourished. I don't need anylonger repeating to cream it 3-or 4- times a day because of a dry feeling! What a relief! For me and my skin!
HA 5 Rich and also the the 101 Retinal serum had been the biggest game change for my skin treatment.
Thank you , Geek & Gorgeous
